bigiron MG8 with 2g of ram not allowing more than 409600 routes instead of 2048000

thanks in advance for any assistance on this matter

we have an MG8 with 2G of ram running ver 2.3

the MG8 datasheet specifies 2 million ipv4 routes and the manual referencing ver 1.0 shows a max ip route and ip cache settings of 1024000 each

i am assuming this may be 2 million combined between the two settings but am not sure

here is the weird part. in ver 2.3 the system max cli does not allow an entry of over 409600 routes for both the system-max ip-route and system-max ip-cache even though in the manual this setting shows a limit of 1024000 for each on ver 1.0

i do not know if any other hardware is required to support 2 million routes. i found a BIMG8-BSF which from what i can tell is a slightly different variant of the BIMG8-SFM. not sure if this might be a requirement for 2 million routes or not.

lastly if anyone knows how to obtain the latest code for this box i would appreciate it. brocade will not sell support for the MG8. maybe it needs newer code.
